Men's dress shoescan be broken down into two distinct categories. Either you get a kick out of them or you despise the bloody things. There is no in-between. And you're absolutely right. It is possible to feel intimidated by the whole business of formal shoes if you have never worn them before. Those accents include "brogueing," Oxfords, and vamps. Is it not true that men's dress shoesbelong in the same realm as cigars, gentlemen's clubs, and wingback chairs upholstered in velvety leather?
